Application filed July 19,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, RALPH HARVEY, a citizen of the {To d totes, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a n: v and useful .lmprovenient in Cartons for Bar Belt Dressing; and .l. do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in.

Fig. 1 a top view of a carton for belt dressing constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 a vertical, sectional View of the same.

This invention relates to improvement in cartons for bar belt dressing, that is, belt dressing which is in the form of a solid block and which is applied to the surfaces of machine belts. Belt dressings are applied while the belts are in motion and the operator is exposed to danger, due to loose belt fastenings which. are liable to injure the hand or catch into the clothing, with serious,

results.

The object of this invention is to provide a carton in which the belt dressing is placed for shipment and which will provide a holder for the dressing as long as it lasts, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter shown and particularly recited in the claims.

In carrying out my invention, it employ a tubular carton 5 of suitable diameter, to con tain a block 6 of belt dressing, which is en closed in a wrapping 7 of paralhn paper. The wrapperencloses a disk 8 of cardboard corresponding in diameter to the diameter of the block 6, and outside the bottom of the paraflin wrapper or bag is a similar disk 9. This dish 9 corresponds in diameter to the internal diameter of the carton, so as to fit tightly therein and so as to prevent the block of dressing from slipping out of the carton, particularly after it has dried and, therefore, shrunk. Secured to the disks 8 and 9 by a rivet 10 are two disks 11 and 12, also formed from cardboard and or" a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the carton, so that, as they are forced into one end of the carton, they form a closure therefor. In practice, the wrapper 7 will be in the form of a bag and the disks 1925. Serial No. 652,575.

9, 11 and 12 will be connected thereto before the belt dressing is inserted into the ag. l l hen so inserted, the belt c ressing is passes into the lower end of the carton, and the disks 11 and 12, being larger in diameter, will become concave-convex as they are forced into the carton, so that they are not liable to be forced downward, out of the carton, but may be forced upward or inward through it. When desired for use, the block of belt dressing is pushed out and the paraflin wrapper 7 torn away, so as to expose the dressing, which may then be applied to machine-belts in the usual way, the carton providing long handle by which it is held by the operator. As the dressing is used, the block is forced outward until practically all the dressing has been used, and during such use, it is always provided with a comparatively long handle, whereby the operator is protected against danger of contact with moving belts. Furthermore, the carton is of such a size that, even when the belt dressing is nearly exhausted, it will still be in evidence, as it often happens that comparatively small pieces of belt dressing will become loose and hence wasted. The bar of dressing is held by the wrapper, and as the wrapper is secured to the disks, it follows that the bar cannot move independent of the disks, even if the bar should shrink so as to be loose in the carton.

ll am aware that cartons have been pro vided with frictional followers, and, therefore, do not wish to be understood as claiming broadly such as my invention.

T claim: v

1. A carton for belt dressing, comprising a tubular carton, a belt-dressing tubular wrapper within the said carton containing the dressing material, a disk smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of the carton enclosed by said wrapper, and a concavo-conven disk secured to the disk within the wrapper and adapted to frictionally engage with the inner walls of the tubular carton. 1

2. A package for belt dressing, including a tubular carton, a tubular wrapper in which the dressing is contained, a pair of fiat disks one of which is smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of the carton and enclosed in said wrapper, the other flat disk arranged outside the wrapper and corresponding in diameter to the diameter of the carton, and a pair of bowed disks 5g mewi? connected with said fiat disks, said. bowed. specification in the presence of two subscribdisks being larger ifn diameter than jthe in: ing Witnesses. ternal diameter 0 the carton, W iere when they are forced into it, they will friz- RALPH HARVEY E5 tionaliy engage with the Walls of the carton, Witnesses:

and so hold the dressing in position. Lnssm HARVEY,

In testimony whereof, I have signed this IDA HARVEY.
